Inspiration
Women’s fitness apps often ignore menstrual cycles, energy fluctuations, and nutrition needs. We wanted to create an empowering, inclusive tool that adapts to each user’s unique rhythm. Motivation: helping women stay confident, consistent, and connected while reaching health goals.
What it does
Tracks workouts, nutrition, and calories tailored to menstrual cycle phases. Offers recipe ideas, meal prep tips, and streak tracking for motivation. Calendar shows cycle phase with gentle reminders Social features: friends’ streaks and encouragements to foster community.
How we built it
Frontend: Built with React Native and Expo for smooth iOS and Android support, featuring empowering messages, cycle-aware visuals, and friend activity feeds. Backend & Hosting: Node.js with MongoDB for user profiles, cycle data, meals, and streaks. Hosted on DigitalOcean for reliable, scalable backend infrastructure. AI & Personalization:
- Presage predicts energy and performance changes across cycle phases.
- Eleven Labs generates voice reminders and motivational nudges. Integration: Calendar sync, streak tracking, and social feeds to keep users connected. Notifications are personalized to encourage progress without pressure. Privacy & Security: Sensitive health data is fully encrypted. Users control what’s shared, with clear opt-in consent for social features.
Challenges we ran into
Designing for inclusivity: accounting for diverse gender identities and health needs. Implementing streaks and reminders without causing stress or guilt. Data privacy and consent flows for sensitive cycle information.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Developed cycle-aware features that adapt workouts and nutrition guidance. Built a social streak system that encourages community engagement. Integrated privacy-first design principles for sensitive health data.
What we learned
Designing for women’s health requires research-backed, inclusive design. Privacy and consent are as critical as functionality in health apps. Iterative prototyping and testing helps balance features and simplicity.
What's next for SYNCLICITY
AI-driven meal & workout suggestions personalized to cycle phase. Wearable integration (Apple Health / Google Fit) for richer insights. Expanded community features with coaching nudges and wellness challenges. Research partnerships for evidence-backed guidance and larger impact
